Song

Woman - James Gang (Rides Again)

Dedicated to Jake Lengen

TABBED by hawkhuff

I do this from memory. It's your basic 1-4-5 rock riff and it's

fun to play.

Listen to the tune to get the feel. Rock on.

Intro: 4X

G--------------|
D--------------|
A--------------|
E---S1-333-----|

Verse: about 4X (the 1 of the 1-4-5)

Woman.... how about you and me.......

G --------------------------------------|
D ------------------------5-------------|
A --------------234S45------------------|
E 333333333--------------33333----------|

Bridge #1 at the end of this back to the verse.

(the 4 of the 1-4-5)

I wanna take you home......

G------------------------------------------------------|
D-------5-3------------5-3-----------------------------|
A-----------54333333333----543333333333----------------|
E--3333---------------------------------012333333333---|

Bridge #2: do this one time then back to verse.

(the 5 of the 1-4-5)

I don't want to break you......I just want to.......

G-------------------------------------------------------|
D--------------------------------33333-H3/5-3--H35------|
A---------234455--S15/3-333-2355--------------5---------|
E--3333--------------------------------333333333--------|

The lead part of the tune is the same as the verse (of course,

except for your improv)but at the end of the part, everything

shifts up the register to an A 1-4-5 riff:

Verse

Woman!....... How about you and me.....

G -----------------------------|
D ----------------- 7----------|
A ----------456S6/7------------|
E 555555555----------55555-----|

Bridge #1

I wanna take you home.....

G-------------------------------------------------------|
D-----7-5-------------7-5-------------------------------|
A---------76555555555-----765555555555------------------|
E-5555---------------------------------23444555555555---|

Bridge #2 and Outro:

I don't want to break you......I just want to.......

(play to fade)

G-----------------------------------------------------------|
D-----------------------------55555-H5/7-5--H5/7------------|
A------456677--S15/5-555-4577--------------------7----------|
E--5555-------------------------------------------555555555-|
